Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En was looking at a performance briefing from MGA Toy Company, which was good news.

Since April this year, MAG has grandly launched the popular fashion "Bez Doll" series, boldly challenging the image of Barbie.

In terms of styling design, Bates dolls have changed the iconic image of Barbie dolls with blonde hair, blue eyes, sweet smiles and unrealistically perfect bodies for four decades.

They have different skin colors, come from different races, dress avant-garde, and radiate enthusiasm, which is easily reminiscent of the image of the British super popular singing group "Spice Girls".

Sure enough, in this era of flaunting individuality and girls pursuing themselves, Bezie dolls caused a great sensation as soon as they appeared. In just half a year since its launch, the sales in North America exceeded 20 million US dollars.

Such sales are less than one percent of that of competitor Mattel.

But in the age group of 7-12 years old, Baez dolls who take the street route have replaced Barbie dolls in just half a year, and are considered to be the "queen" among dolls, and even set off a wave of "anti-Barbie" .

Among them is Taylor Swift.

This little guy once terrified Tang En!

She even threw the Barbie doll into the microwave oven, and said that she would bid farewell to the "age of idiots"!

At that time, the smell made me think it was on fire.

Anyway, Baze Dolls off to a good start!

Twain, who owns 49% of the shares of MGA Toys Company, has added a lot of color to his investment resume.

Tang En attacked Mattel in the first place because Mattel was Disney's henchman.

Unexpectedly, Michael Eisner called out of nowhere.

"Is there a problem?"

Tang En tried his best to keep his voice calm.

Michael Eisner did not lose the demeanor of Disney's master, and said lightly: "It's nothing, just to tell you that Kirk Douglas contacted me just now, and he is going to attack you during the awards season, and wants me to be a leader in public opinion." Cooperate."

"Ah?" Tang En thought he heard it wrong, "You agreed?"

"I didn't refuse."

Tang En's voice was slightly cold, "Mr. Eisner, can I understand this as a threat?"

"That's what you think, and it has nothing to do with me. I'm the CEO of Disney, and I'm only responsible for Disney's interests. It doesn't matter whether it's human or decent." Michael Eisner's voice was moderate and forceful. .

"Um?"

Tang En's heart moved, is it important to be decent? This is not Michael Eisner's style!

He sensitively sensed the deep meaning hidden in the other person's words, pondered for a while, and then smiled, "Michael, there have been many misunderstandings between us in the past year or so."

Michael Eisner's voice immediately became eager, "We don't have much contact and communication. It's all caused by people with serious intentions and hype by the media."

Tang En laughed loudly, "Mr. Eisner, to be honest, Mr. Roy Disney had an appointment with me a few months ago."

"You didn't hit it off, did you?"

Michael Eisner is clearly confident.

Roy Disney has made many efforts in the board of directors, but he has been severely suppressed. If he could find Tang En, a powerful foreign aid in the content field, he would have joined forces long ago.

Indeed, after waiting for nearly half a year, Roy Disney hadn't made a statement yet, and Twain was getting a little impatient.

In particular, Comcast has shown its attitude to acquire Disney.

In the previous life, Comcast's acquisition of Disney failed, but this life's Disney is even more miserable and despondent. Under the butterfly effect, Tang En can't guarantee that this acquisition will still fail!

During this time, Tang En thought a lot, combined the clues, and many truths surfaced.

Comcast and Viacom are the largest partners and are mutual shareholders; ABC Group’s performance has declined and Disney’s stock price has plummeted. The culprit is Viacom led by Redstone; Comcast wants to unite Don Well, continue to weigh on Disney stock; Comcast is buying Disney...

All of this is likely to be a big chess game played by Comcast!

This is to unite forces from all parties to eat the fat of Disney.

Of course Dunn didn't want to!

Even if Lei Shidong was the biggest contributor to disabling Disney, Tang En contributed a lot. He beat Disney movies to the brim in the movie market!

Paramount's "Mission: Impossible 2", "100% Men", "Tomb Raider" and other films, although they also secretly squeezed the market space of Disney movies, but they are only small.

Tang En Pictures is the main force!

Disney is a treasure, whoever grabs it first will be the big winner.

Roy Disney has been reluctant to make a statement. Tang En has no more time to wait. He must get what he wants before Comcast integrates the newly acquired AT\u0026T cable business assets!

Otherwise, once Comcast sends out an invitation to buy, Disney's shareholder meeting will definitely come forward to discuss the possibility of mergers and acquisitions.

At that time, all external cooperation with Disney will be suspended.

Tang En's hard work over the past year is likely to make a wedding dress for Comcast.

This is not the situation he wants to see.

Without further ado, time waits!

Tang En's tone suddenly became more friendly, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Eisner, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Last month, I wanted to take my colleague's children to Disneyland, but the park was closed. , causing that little guy to complain to me now."

"Oh, it must have caught up with 9/11! No way, this is a request from the FBI and CIA, and we can only comply. It is said that they want to thoroughly investigate foreigners from the Middle East. You know, Disneyland is a key tourist attraction."

Michael Eisner was also quite helpless.

The FBI at that time found all the cameras in the park, and through lip-sync comparisons, they did find a few Arabic-speaking guys, but they were not terrorists at all.

This incident caused huge economic losses to Disney.

"Now? I plan to take her there on the weekend."

What Tang En said made Michael Eisner's heart skip a beat.

It's certainly not as simple as visiting an amusement park.

This is an invitation? Or... is it the intention of cooperation?

Michael Eisner immediately said: "No problem! I will arrange it myself, and I will ask them to limit the number of tourists...Forget it, I will accompany you, let me show you around!"

Tang En was in a good mood, "Haha, Mr. Eisner, I'll take care of you then!"

...

Little Taylor was very excited, bouncing around and chattering non-stop, and he didn't even care that Tang En brought a beautiful woman, Anne Hathaway, with him.

Disneyland's appeal to kids is enormous.

Anne Hathaway wore a set of pure white sportswear with pink edges today, and a peaked cap, which covered half of her delicate face. Under the huge sunglasses, only the perfect curvature of the corner of her mouth could be seen .

This girl is very good at dressing up.

When Michael Eisner saw her, he was slightly surprised, and when Tang En introduced her as Anne Hathaway, his face became more exciting.

Tang En secretly laughed, and sent Anne Hathaway to take little Taylor to play, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, the box office of "Monsters, Inc." is very good!"

The animated film "Monsters, Inc" released by Disney caused a sensation once it was released. In the past 4 weeks, "A Beautiful Mind" has been the North American box office champion, with a North American box office of more than 110 million US dollars. Now it seems that the record will be ended by "Monsters, Inc."

Michael Eisner is very satisfied with this achievement. Although this animated film was produced by Pixar Studios, it finally improved Disney's sluggish film market.

"A movie like a clown, not interesting." Michael Eisner has always sneered at animated movies, thinking that animated characters lack soul, and changed the subject, "By the way, the eighth episode of "Band of Brothers" will be broadcast tonight, right? "

"Oh? You still watch Band of Brothers?"

"I've been following the episode since the first episode. The filming is fantastic! If "Pearl Harbor" had this quality, it wouldn't be so mediocre."

Tang En became even more amused, watching Anne Hathaway with Little Taylor sitting on a saddle horse in the distance, and suddenly shouted: "Be careful, don't fall!"

Little Taylor showed a happy smile and waved his little hand in this direction.

Michael Eisner was a little surprised.

Tang En smiled at him, "I met Mr. Roy Disney some time ago."

Michael Eisner narrowed his eyes, "I know."

"He wants to replace you!"

"I know."

"I wanted the right to adapt Disney animation, but he didn't agree."

"ah?"

Michael Eisner was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him in shock.
